SPE Tech Talk: Digital Metering and Monitoring Optimizes Production
Remotely measure and control injection and production rates in real time for optimal accuracy and reliabilty
Modum Chem
Chemical injection metering control system
Overview
Reduce your chemical costs while maintaining optimal injection rates and flow assurance
Modum Chem™ chemical injection metering control system is a smart device that reduces your chemical injection costs and environmental footprint—without increasing the risk of flow disruption.
The smart valve system measures and controls the flow rate of chemicals passing through it to maintain an optimal target flow rate, improving performance over that of traditional injection rate control devices. The technology also enables remote adjustments to accommodate changing well, surface, and system conditions.
Its accurate control means you can use a single chemical reservoir and pump to inject chemicals into a multiwell system, with smart valves regulating injection into each well.
Plus, the compact design facilitates integration into skid packages or wellsite infrastructure without requiring significant modifications to your existing chemical injection system.
Because conventional chemical injection systems are unable to deliver at a constant rate, operators often inject excess production chemicals. Modum Chem system enables you to automatically vary the rate in response to changing well conditions, significantly reducing both flow assurance risks and expensive chemical waste.
Applications
Onshore and offshore surface applications
Benefits
- Eliminates overinjection of production chemicals and associated costs, reducing your environmental footprint
- Maintains an optimal target flow rate set by the operator and flow assurance
- Simplifies and optimizes injection into a multiwell system
- Does not require significant modifications to existing chemical injection systems
- Provides accurate control, with smart valves regulating injection into each well
- Enables remote adjustments
- Can be operated manually or automatically
- Requires no filtration and thus no filter-related maintenance
Conventional chemical injection applications typically require a chemical reservoir (tank), pump, control device (backpressure valve), and flowmeter for each injection point. Modum Chem system replaces both the control device and the flowmeter.
Features
- Offers three modes of operation: manual standby mode, automatic position control mode, and automatic flow control mode
- Integrates an ultrasonic flowmeter, a flow controller, a needle valve, and an LCD
- Can be connected to your existing SCADA system or an AgoraGateway™ ruggedized edge computing device to enable remote monitoring
- Features a compact design that facilitates integration into skid packages or wellsite infrastructure
